We're camping in Kentucky where it's a little cooler than back home in St. Louis, which is north of us, which is just weird. It should be hotter in the south, right? I'm loving it, though ... I spend a little time outside, then get in the air conditioning. All is good. Like having a free sauna ... and oh so much better than driving on icy roads in January ... Stay cool!

The wheeliecrone says -Dave! Now is the time to visit Australia! It is winter here - although our winter temperatures would make you chuckle. Today the top temp was 61 degrees. That's a chilly winter day in Sydney.We do have super hot weather in our summer. In January.

I feel you! Not to be a big whinger, but it has been hot to the point where the cold water comes out of the tap hot, the soap in the dispenser comes out hot--it's old-people-dying-of-heat type weather. I left a bottle of cold water out for the mail carrier because I felt so sorry for him.

cookie consent

In the real world there should never be an issue regarding consent and cookies, particularly chocolate chip. However, I have been informed that I need to inform you about cookies that may be involved somehow with this blog and with Blogger. I an in my mid sixties and don't really know what cookies are .... here is something from the notice I got:

Google uses of certain Blogger and Google cookies, including use of Google Analytics and AdSense cookies.

So be aware of that, and I am assuming implied consent because you know that and come back. Of course, you may choose not to come back. This is why I'm suggesting implied consent. I tried finding a proper code for announcing this and couldn't. I hope you come back, and I hope you occasionally have a real world cookie, especial on days that are raining ... or sunny ... or cloudy ...
